So remember in My Best Friend’s Wedding when Cameron Diaz got up to sing karaoke and it was so bad that everyone was all like, “Oh God, I hope they never cast her in a musical”? Well, apparently they just did.

Deadline is reporting that the 40-year-old actress will play mean orphan lady Miss Hannigan in the upcoming movie-musical remake of Annie after Sandra Bullock (sadly) dropped out. She’ll join Jamie Foxx and Beasts of the Southern Wild cutie Quvenzhané Wallis in the Will Gluck-directed project, out Christmas 2014.

To be fair, the bad singing My Best Friend’s Wedding was intentional — so was, I think, the bad singing she did in Vanilla Sky. (Memba that?) Plus, hey, maybe this will give her a much-needed career boost.

Either way, even if Diaz’s singing is still bad, it’s unlikely anyone will be able to hear her voice over those loud, bratty little girls.
